The Very Busy Life of Olaf and Venus: Car (The very busy life of Olaf & Venus)

Road trip! Olaf the elephant and Venus the mouse choose a sunny day to head out on the highway. They see a porcupine, a plane, a bird... and the sea, where they settle down for a happy afternoon on the beach.

Elegantly simple, Pierre Pratt's series for babies and preschoolers will make readers of all ages smile. With just one word on every two-page spread, the square little board book encourages children to practice their reading skills or make up a story to go with the delightfully rich, grainy colors of the pictures. In Car, Venus chauffeurs her larger friend in a cool red convertible, whizzing by the sights of the countryside. Who could resist this unlikely friendship between an elephant and a mouse? The Very Busy Life of Olaf and Venus series includes Park, Shopping, and Home. (Baby to Preschool) --Emilie Coulter
